Chapter 137


There were fans as busy as the members of Seven. These were mostly the Home Mamas who followed nearly all the schedules.

But today, for the first time, Do-hee’s Home Mama hadn’t stepped outside.

– “Poor fans, haha. She’s probably playing house with her boyfriend instead, boohoo.”

└ This comment gets sent to Topist.

  

└ “Hehe (subject omitted) haha. Did that hit a nerve?”

The Home Mama gulped down water as if frustrated.

“Seriously, why am I living like this?”

Even after Do-hee’s dating rumors turned out to be nonsense and fell through.

Even after Topist’s statement about suing those spreading false composite photos.

The trolls were still around.

Especially during this particularly harsh week.

The Home Mama sighed and dove into a watermelon.

—Daily Chart

—1【SAVEN – Sound (Melody)】

▲ 2【CoralBlue – Troika】

“Must be because of this, right?”

The new song ‘Troika’ by Coral Blue, released four days ago.

The word “Coral Blue” had become synonymous with public appeal, and they infused their unique atmosphere into the hip-hop genre, currently surpassing 500,000 users in a 24-hour period, rapidly climbing the chart.

Of course, Seven still maintained the top spot with an overwhelming cumulative user count due to having released a week earlier, but sooner or later it was bound to lose that top position.

“Comebacks late in the game are advantageous for chart standings.”

If they were to evaluate the song’s performance, they’d have to check the chart rankings at least a month from now.

“So for the next month, it’s practically a tie for first place…”

It seemed like Coral Blue’s toxic fans couldn’t stand that fact. If Seven’s song wasn’t good, there wouldn’t be this kind of reaction. It was a response stemming from its quality.

“Sigh… Those real pests…”

Do-hee’s Home Mama clutched her throbbing head and turned on the TV. She had to catch the live airing of Seven’s third reality show episode.

She recalled last week’s second episode that aired.

“Last time it was behind-the-scenes for the music video and mission games. This time, they should give the kids a proper vacation, right?”

And then the intro music started playing.

[Seven In London]

Scenes of the members wandering around London taking pictures unfolded like a panorama.

[Three-Part Tour and Shopping Splurges!]

During a moment where the members passed by, Do-hee’s Home Mama spotted Do-hee.

The annoyance from earlier vanished without a trace, and a smile crept onto her face.

“OMG crazy… Do-hee’s casual fashion is unreal…”

A sky-blue short-sleeved tee plastered with sporty logos and white shorts.

Clothes that prominently showcased her figure.

“I absolutely have to own this, no doubt about it…!”

As thoughts of cropping and editing that scene filled her mind, the third episode began.

Subtitles appeared on the screen.

[The Morning After Music Video Shooting]

The gathered members were handing a mission sheet to the Producer.

[Hana: Is this for real!?]

[Ye-eun: A free vacation!]

The mission sheet revealed by Ye-eun.

[Mission: A vacation for the members! Go wherever you want!]

[Ha-rang: Seriously, no script, we get to do as we please?]
[PD: Of course!]

Unlike the PD’s bright tone, the subtitles appeared in a gloomy font.

[Did you ever follow the script…?]

[PD: Now, I will distribute the mission rewards.]

The PD handed out the accumulated mission rewards to each member.

As the Seven members jumped with joy while opening their envelopes, Chaerin stood alone with a calm demeanor.

Chaerin’s envelope looked particularly thin.

[Chaerin: Hana unni, how much is 20 pounds?]

Chaerin, who wasn’t particularly good at games, had even earned a small amount.

[Hana: About 30,000 won?]

[Chaerin: Ah, then I can’t really do anything. I’ll just rest at the hotel.]

“Is that really okay?”

Just like Home Mama’s question, the PD tried to dissuade her.

[PD: But since you’re already in London, wouldn’t it be nice to do some sightseeing…?]

[Chaerin: It just means I’ll end up eating one hamburger.]

[PD: Then if the members sponsor you… ]

[Chaerin: How much is the reward anyway… I’ll just rest. I was already a bit tired, so this works out.]

[Another day of threatening PD Yoon Bo-sung, sob sob]

[PD: I’ll give you more… but in exchange, please visit a recommended tourist spot… ]

Meanwhile, Sara shook a noticeably thick envelope beside her.

[Sara: Do-hee! Where are you going? I have lots of money!]

With Do-hee’s cryptic smile, the screen transitioned, playing upbeat background music.

The members styled in casual wear were captured on screen.

[Divide into your teams for the tour!]

The members officially began their London tour.

[Team 1: Shoreditch Tour]

[Harang: This is so young! Totally MZ!]

[Chaerin: I heard they shoot a ton of music videos here.]

Walking down a street filled with graffiti were the two.

[Team 2: Soho Shopping Tour]

[Seoyoon: Wow, this is so pretty!]

[Sara: Do-hee…]

[Seoyoon: Do-hee, why? Want me to help pick out clothes?]

[Sara: Huh…? Should we? Pink clothes!]

The two were shopping in one of London’s vibrant districts.

[Team 3: Landmark Tour]

[Ye-eun: I want to shop… I have money… ]

[Hana: Anyway, it takes about 30 minutes to get to Soho from here. Let’s check out the cultural heritage first, okay?]

[Ye-eun: Aww… ]

The two enjoyed the UNESCO-designated Westminster landmarks.

[And…? ]

The screen shifted to Do-hee’s self-cam.

[Do-hee Tour…? ]

On the screen were Do-hee and two production staff members.

[Camera Director: Do-hee, this place is… ]

The camera zoomed in on Do-hee’s outfit.

A blue uniform t-shirt.

[Manchester City uniform…? ]

Even someone with no knowledge of football like her had heard of famous teams like Man City.

“Oh, that was a uniform? Whoa.”

Soon after, the screen transitioned from the self-cam to the camera director’s cam.
[Here is Wembley Stadium!]

The screen fills with the exterior of the massive stadium.

And crowds wearing blue and red uniforms.

[And on this day, June 3rd, it was the FA Cup Final between Manchester United and Manchester City!]

Do-hee’s Home Mama recalled her Bubble Q&A response.

(Q: What is Do-hee’s favorite sport? A: Hmm… soccer?)

“Now that I think about it, Do-hee said she watched soccer sometimes!”

[Do-hee: Wow… I really wanted to watch a soccer game when I came to England! And it’s even the final!]

In contrast to the crowd in red, Do-hee appeared fresh and vibrant today.

[Youngest Writer: Do-hee, so you have tickets, right…?]

The Production Staff asked with a worried tone.

[Do-hee: Of course! Is it just for me? I anticipated needing tickets for two more, so I booked three! Isn’t that good!?]

[Thorough Youngest Bunny…]

[Youngest Writer: But it probably cost more than the mission prize…]

[By the way, where did the money come from…?]

Do-hee chuckled and linked arms with the Youngest Writer.

[Do-hee: I can use my own money! Since I bought the tickets, let’s just move on~ Hehe]

“Ah… I’m so envious of the Youngest Writer…”

Feeling a bit jealous of the Youngest Writer enjoying her aegyo.

The Home Mama’s eyes widened at Do-hee’s image on screen.

[Do-hee: Wow, I’m going crazy…]

Her round eyes, sparkling as she gazed somewhere after entering the stadium.

Her mouth slightly parted, filled with the expectation of wanting to say so much at any moment.

Her lips curled slightly, making it hard to suppress a smile.

[Do-hee: Why is he so handsome…?]

By the end, her face turned a bit red.

“So handsome… what?”

The Home Mama knew all too well.

Do-hee had never given a proper answer when asked about her ideal type at fan signings.

Moreover, it often seemed that Do-hee had little interest in the opposite sex.

So the word “handsome” coming from Do-hee felt very unfamiliar.

[Do-hee: Camera guy, do you know who he is!?]

[Camera Director: Huh? Oh, the scoreboard?]

[Do-hee: Yes, right now!]

[Camera Director: I know, Haaland.]

[Do-hee: Wow, isn’t he really cool…? I feel like my heart might explode…]

“Is it that serious…?”

Due to broadcasting regulations preventing the showing of the player’s face, the handsome Haaland mentioned by the Camera Director couldn’t appear on screen.

The Home Mama hurriedly searched for Haaland’s name.

“How handsome must he be… that Do-hee…!”

And gasped.

*

High ratings and buzz.

An idol member showing an unexpected side and genuine reactions.

The public couldn’t help but respond passionately to what they loved most.

– Hahaha, Do-hee going to watch soccer alone is so cute! Does she really like soccer?

└ She said soccer was her favorite sport at the fan signing! But I didn’t think she’d like it enough to wear a jersey to the stadium, lol!
Didn’t know, huh? LOL

└Ah, I wanna see the full video! Just looking at the reactions is cute and fun! LOL

-(Picture) Ah—Do-hee’s supposed to be handsome, and I was really looking forward to it, but what is this? Do-hee, Unni is disappointed…

└LOLOL Seriously, if they say Do-hee is handsome, I wondered how handsome he could be, so I checked too, and… LOL Do-hee’s eyes are weird…

-Do-hee… even you, perfection, have flaws… oh my… but as I watch, you kind of look cute…

The controversy surrounding Do-hee, which only left glowing embers, has completely died down.

Moreover, Do-hee’s cute reactions garnered positive responses from female viewers, yet reactions related to soccer were still intense in male-dominated communities.

That’s right, it’s Haaland.

-What? Why Haaland? For real?

-An unexpected face;;

-Wow, live at the FA Cup finals… I’m jealous, but does Do-hee like soccer originally?

└These days, girls going to England to watch soccer is a trend, for Instagram purposes LOL

└LOL Would such a girl be shouting Haaland?

└That’s true LOL

-Haaland suddenly isn’t appealing to me at all.

└Still, you must be better looking than Haaland.

└Similar.

└ㅜㅜ

-I found a common point between Do-hee and me: we both think Haaland is handsome.

└Isn’t it a common point with Haaland?

└Shut up.

-I hope the two get married. Haaland’s soccer genes ㄷㄷ Do-hee’s looks ㄷㄷ A soccer star being born ㄷㄷ

└?? Are you out of your mind?

└You can’t marry me anyway.

└What if Do-hee’s soccer genes mix with Haaland’s looks?

└Nonsense.

-Ah, if I could be reborn, I’d become a soccer player.

[But Haaland really is handsome]

[Reactions from the girl idol who attended the Manchester Derby, LOL]

Do-hee continued to heat up the community.

“Am I really a genius?”

Thinking of using Haaland to help Baek-hwi.

Well, being the top student every time and winning piano awards, definitely a genius idol.

I was clearly a genius.

“Hey.”

And Seo-yoon Unni was looking at me weirdly.

“What? What?”

“I’m not really putting down looks… but do you really think this Haaland guy is handsome…?”

It seems my words shocked Seo-yoon Unni, who knows nothing about soccer.

This is why non-soccer fans…

  

Of course, ever since I encountered Baek-hwi at the filming site, I couldn’t deny that my calculated actions weren’t to avoid potential controversies.

However, I genuinely thought Haaland was handsome.

Great body, good personality, plays soccer well, plays soccer well, plays soccer well, plays soccer well.

And what’s important to me isn’t looks.

“Honestly think about it. No matter how handsome he is, he can’t be better looking than me in a disguise…”

Seo-yoon Unni didn’t even listen to me and scratched her head as she headed to the shower.
